Cookbook and Hysterical Tales

Two bright, well-educated misfits ended up running a Cajun hybrid restaurant on Milwaukee's working-class South Side in 1980. They were also a Canadian-American-blend couple who went beyond their "provincial" status to experience life and love in the 1980s. This book is full of escapades, foibles, and spectacular screwups, as these two nutty baby boomers write about their calamities in the restaurant business. These "cautionary tales" cover everything from crazed customers, dear and derelict employees, and culinary dreams and disasters. Original and delicious recipes that cover home cooking to authentic Cajun cuisine will keep you warm and smiling in these adventurous and hilarious tales of From Soup to Nuts.

Alafair Burke

A Novel

New York Times Bestselling Author From Alafair Burke--New York Times bestselling author of the runaway hit, The Wife-- comes another twisty tale of domestic noir. When a prominent Manhattan lawyer is murdered, two estranged sisters--one the dead man's widow, the other his ex--must set aside mistrust and old resentments ... but can they escape their past? Keep your enemies close and your sister closer. Though Chloe was the younger of the two Taylor sisters, she always seemed to be the one in charge. She was the honor roll student with big dreams and an even bigger work ethic. Nicky--always restless and more than a little reckless--was the opposite of her ambitious little sister. She floated from job to job and man to man, and stayed close to home in Cleveland. For a while, it seemed that both sisters had found happiness. Chloe earned a scholarship to an Ivy League school and moved to New York City, where she landed a coveted publishing job. Nicky married promising young attorney Adam Macintosh and gave birth to a baby boy they named Ethan. The Taylor sisters became virtual strangers. Now, more than fifteen years later, their lives are drastically different--and Chloe is married to Adam. When he's murdered by an intruder at the couple's East Hampton beach house, Chloe reluctantly allows her teenage stepson's biological mother--her estranged sister, Nicky--back into her life. But when the police begin to treat Ethan as a suspect in his father's death, the two sisters are forced to unite . . . and to confront the truth behind family secrets they have tried to bury in the past.

G. K. Chesterton

Dermot Quinn

Written at the defining moment when Ireland was heading toward complete national independence, Chesterton's study of the Irish question demonstrates that if both the English and the Irish had modified their attitudes slightly, subsequent Anglo-Irish relations could have been radically improved. Unlike most historians, he tackles the question from an ideological, philosophical, and religious standpoint. As a Roman Catholic and a lover of English nationalism, Chesterton shared many sentiments with the Irish. Written objectively and frankly, this is an important work for any student of English/Irish history as well as an excellent study of the effects of ideology and religion on society.

Michael Collins and the Irish Revolution

In 1916, a young man named Michael Collins returned to his native Ireland, after ten years in voluntary exile in London, to join one of the most impassioned and complicated revolutions in history. Playfully nicknamed "The Big Fellow," Collins began to take a key role in the uprisings, eventually becoming a revered revolutionary leader. Acclaimed writer Frank O'Connor, a man who himself fought in the Irish Civil War, traces Collin's life from the day he returned to Dublin to the day a young Irish soldier shot him dead on a country road. The Big Fellow achieves a narrative both probing and poetic as it chronicles the life of a man so charismatic that he made people "aware of his presence even when he was not visible, through that uncomfortable magnetism of the very air, a tingling of the nerves."

Excerpt from The Story of Ireland When Julius Caesar and the Romans invaded Britain, Ireland was inhabited by a nation whom the Romans called Scoti or Scots. The same nation, too, occupied the western half of Scotland, while the Picts held the remainder of that country. But the people of Ireland did not call themselves Scots; they called themselves the Gaedil, or the Gael, because, they said, they were the children of a very far away and ancient hero named Gaedil. The Romans called the island Scotia, and also Hibernia. The people themselves had a great many names of their own for the island. They called it Inis na Fidba or the Isle of Woods, Inis Elga, the Noble Island, and many other names. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Philip Caputo

A War Correspondent's Memoir of Life and Death in Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Vietnam

Philip Caputo has been a witness to the most important struggles of our time, from the hot green hell of Vietnam to the dusty mountains of Afghanistan and the bloodstained streets of Beirut. Caputo intersperses imaginative retellings of events he witnessed with true accounts of how he became a writer, and what happened when he was sent to some of the most dangerous places in the world. He begins with his childhood and budding career in Chicago. Soon after, he was deep in the Sinai Peninsula searching for the last authentic Bedouin, and reporting from the front lines of the Yom Kippur War. In an eerie parallel to journalist Daniel Pearl's tragic murder, Caputo was held hostage for a week by Islamic extremists while reporting in Beirut. Later, he was singled out by a sniper, and received a bullet in his ankle and a chunk of wall in his head. In Afghanistan in the 1980s, he joined the Mujahideen for a clandestine mission and was nearly captured by Soviet forces. His observations on that war-torn country and its ethos are starkly relevant today.
